The hexadecimal system.
The hexadecimal number system is one using 16 as the base instead of the more familiar ten which we use in the decimal system.
The hexadecimal number system is one using 16 as the base instead of the more familiar ten which we use in the decimal system.
This is because a number represented in hexadecimal requires fewer digits. A hexadecimal string of length s can hold a number which is approx 8^s as large as a binary string of the same length.
If you mean, for example, divide one hexadecimal number by another: In any number base, you can use basically the same method you use with decimal numbers - in the case of division, the "long division". However, you have to use the corresponding multiplication table, for example, the multiplication table for multiplying two hexadecimal digits, with a hexadecimal result.
The hexadecimal system.
Number systems with a base larger than ten use alphabetical characters to extend the set of "digits". The number systems are then alphanumeric.
The radix refers to the base of a number system: the total number of possible digits. The decimal number system that we all use is base ten, as it has ten distinct digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). Commonly used bases in computing include binary, octal, and hexadecimal, which have two, eight, and sixteen digits, respectively.

Computer engineers use to use the hexadecimal code to program computers, or the base 16. Hexadecimal numbers use the digits 0 through 9, plus the letters A through F to represent the digits 10 through 15.

Hexadecimal number system is a number sytem with a Base of 16. The 'regular' system which we use every day is base-ten (decimal), with the digits 0-9.Having a base 16 system makes it easier to represent values of computer memory, as computers deal in binary (base 2), where every value is either one or zero (on or off).With hexadecimal, the digit values range from zero to fifteen, so symbols are needed to represent ten, eleven, ... fifteen as single digits. The letters A through F were chosen, so:A represents tenB = elevenC = twelveD = thirteenE = fourteenF = fifteen
